荣耀 200 评测

HONOR 通过为全球用户提供极具性价比的设备，与其他品牌区分开来。其最新系列——200 系列，提供了一系列时尚且定价合理的智能手机，专注于摄影功能。

该系列是与法国著名摄影工作室哈考特（Studio Harcourt）合作开发的。此次合作的宗旨是推出一款价格亲民的智能手机，能够拍摄专业级别的肖像照片。

借此机会，我们向读者展示HONOR 200的卓越表现。这是一款中端机型，其规格和功能与Pro版本相差无几。

对于关注HONOR 200 Pro的读者，我们另有独立的文字评测和视频可供查阅。此外供参考，我们的评测样机配置为 12GB 内存和 512GB 存储。

设计与施工

HONOR 200 拥有高端质感，其流畅的曲线和仅 7 毫米的纤薄机身（重 187 克）尤为突出。

我们的评测样机为黑色，配备金属后盖、光滑边框以及光面相机模组。值得一提的是，设备还附赠了一款透明果冻保护壳。

乍一看，我本以为这款手机会很容易翻转和携带。我的判断没错！它握在手中很纤薄，轻松滑入口袋，也不会感觉增加了太多重量。

在手机背面，您可以看到HONOR 200的摄像头传感器位于左上角。我必须说，它确实非常醒目。该模组采用椭圆形或胶囊状设计，传感器呈十字形排列。

正面来看，这款手机配备了一块相当可观的显示屏。它拥有纤薄的非对称边框，顶部中央设有一个打孔式摄像头。我们稍后将在评测中深入探讨这些细节。

接下来是按键和接口，电源键和音量摇杆位于右侧。而左侧则没有任何元件。

底部设有两个扬声器之一、一个 Type-C 充电接口和双纳米 SIM 卡槽。顶部则配备另一个扬声器、红外发射器以及设备的麦克风。

总而言之，我对HONOR 200在设计及工艺上所付出的努力相当满意。它是一款精致的现代设计之作，设备上处处彰显着品牌的独特印记。

然而，这款手机似乎没有官方的IP防护等级。读者请注意这一点！务必小心，因为这是避免灰尘或水造成损害的最佳方式。

显示屏、多媒体与生物识别技术

回到显示方面，这款手机配备了一块6.7英寸四曲面 AMOLED 面板，支持 120Hz 自适应刷新率。其分辨率为2664×1200，峰值亮度高达4,000尼特。此外，该屏幕还获得了TÜV莱茵防闪烁认证。

就实际显示体验而言，HONOR 200 的高像素密度（435ppi）表现显著。和大多数人一样，我也有在床上“躺平”时刷 YouTube 的习惯。我在这台设备上以高分辨率观看了 OfflineTV 的视频，持续了约三小时。

我可以保证，图像非常锐利、清晰且色彩丰富。纤薄的非对称边框进一步增强了沉浸式多媒体体验。

我还想补充的是，位于顶部和底部两端的双立体声扬声器非常值得称赞。虽然我大部分时间都戴着耳机，但在HONOR 200上观看视频时，其实可以不用佩戴。

我认为这两款扬声器表现非常出色，即使在最大音量下也能提供清晰的音质。此外，我特别喜欢在观看视频时横向握持手机，两款扬声器均不会被遮挡。

在生物识别方面，我们拥有标准的设备解锁方式，包括图案、数字和字母数字密码。此外，还有如HONOR 200的屏下指纹传感器和面部解锁等现代安全功能。

指纹传感器位于屏幕底部，识别速度相对较快。其面部识别功能也表现良好。

但值得注意的是，该手机支持在佩戴口罩的情况下扫描面部。我尚未遇到过此类生物识别功能，因此难以判断这究竟是一个贴心的改进还是其他。

比如，如果它识别到设备上有戴着口罩的陌生人怎么办？为我的多疑道歉，我只是不确定这是否是一个合适的功能。

Cameras

Moving on, we have the HONOR 200’s most defining feature—its camera system. It blends quality hardware with AI post-processing to take nice shots.

The rear cameras consist of a 50-megapixel main shooter, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor. At the front, it's equipped with a 50-megapixel shooter for selfies.

From specs alone, it’s not too far from its Pro model. When I started using it though, I did notice that it takes a second to load. But when it’s ready, the shutter speed’s pretty quick.

Frankly, I deem the photos taken with the device Instagram-worthy to an extent. They’re bright and don’t skimp on detail, but oversaturation can’t be overlooked in some scenarios. However, I do love how the subject stands out against the backdrop when taking portrait shots.

Speaking of, portrait shots are where the phone shines. Users can cycle through the Harcourt portrait modes with options for vibrant, colour, and classic.

Unfortunately, the Harcourt portrait art style selection is only available on the rear camera. Selfies with their filters are exclusive to the HONOR 200 Pro. But anyway, here’s some of our sample shots for your viewing pleasure.

HONOR 200 Sample Photos

Jun 29 – Jul 9, 2024

I turned off beauty mode prior to taking shots. It’s surely a personal preference, but I’m not a fan of aggressive HDR and dollified skin. Plus, the cameras offer a combination of optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS), which is nice.

For video recording, the HONOR 200 can shoot videos at 4K at 30fps. Just keep in mind, you won’t be able to use this setting if you have AI video toggled on. It’s turned on by design, so just remember to turn it off if you want to take higher resolution clips.

Bottom line, I think the HONOR 200 could definitely throw hands when it comes to competing with flagship-level smartphone cameras.

Admittedly, how good photos are depend mostly on a user’s skill. But also, cameras capable of taking clear shots with color accuracy are great to start with.

OS, Apps, and UI

The phone runs on MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14 out of the box. The HONOR 200 is set for three (3) Android updates and four (4) years of security updates.

The software is easy to navigate, providing users an option to use the system with gestures or three buttons. Apps folders can be found in folders on the home screen. It stores your recently used apps under the AI Essentials folder too.

At first, I thought that it didn't provide a drawer where you can find all the installed apps when you scroll up. Apparently, users have to tinker around with this under settings first.

Prior to this, I had to scroll down on the home screen to search for the app I needed. Alternatively, you could still swipe around to dig for it.

The software also comes with a handful of bloatware. I don't think it's enough to irk any user though. However, Google’s suite of apps on the phone gives users two of each app.

To elaborate, there’s Play Store versus HONOR’s App Market. Users will have both Google Photos and the dedicated photo gallery. There’s even pre-installed-apps for Booking.com and Trip.com.

TikTok, Netflix, and Facebook also came pre-installed. While not everyone uses these, I guess these are fine in comparison.

The user interface, on the other hand, feels like your standard Android makeup. Interestingly though, the drop down button offers HONOR Share and Android’s Quick Share. Presumably, the IR blaster can also be found here but renamed into Device Control.

Considering how the HONOR 200 does overall, I’d say it’s okay under these segments. These quirks aren’t too off-putting, but hard to ignore at the same time.

Performance and Benchmarks

The HONOR 200 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset paired with an Adreno 720 GPU. Again, our review unit comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

From experience, the phone handled games without any trouble. I mostly played Teamfight Tactics for the most part, which isn’t too graphic intensive.

However, I did try games like PUBG Mobile to check frame stability and it didn’t disappoint. In addition, it only heated up during a big update for Genshin Impact. I found this very strange, since it didn’t even act up during benchmark testing.

For those interested, we’re leaving readers with our synthetic benchmark scores below.

General consensus? The HONOR 200 is quite capable under this segment. It’s only a bit shy of a million for its Antutu v10 score, so this is a fair claim.

It also offers high read and write speeds for storage. In other words, users will surely find that this is a phone that performs well.

Battery and Connectivity

This phone packs a large 5,200mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W of HONOR SuperCharge support via USB Type-C. Even the 100W adapter that comes with the box feels premium.

With my time using the phone, I can attest that it’s good enough to be your next daily driver. We took a number of tests to help readers estimate how long the HONOR 200’s uptime is.

In PC Mark’s Work 3.0 Battery Test, our unit lasted 12 hours and 55 minutes. The test was taken with the phone set to 50% brightness, volume muted, and in airplane mode.

In our video loop test, the HONOR 200 gave us 27 hours and 17 minutes of video playback. For this test, we played a full HD movie with the same variables mentioned in our test above.

We took the liberty to take a gaming test for the device as well. We found that this phone offers users up to an insane 12 hours and 30 minutes of gameplay. The test was taken with the phone set to 50% brightness and volume over a Wi-Fi connection.

Finally, we took the device on a charging test. This test was taken with the phone’s smart charging toggled off and with the 100W adapter that came with the box.

We found that the HONOR 200 has 37% of power at 15 minutes and 72% at half an hour. Overall, it takes 44 minutes and 40 seconds to charge from empty to full.

Generally speaking, the HONOR 200 does quite well under this segment.

For connectivity, the phone features 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. It also supports dual nano-SIM cards, and has an infrared (IR) blaster for smart home appliances.

The phone offers standard call quality, and the WiFi connection is stable as well. Honestly, there’s not much to write home about for this segment. I’d be surprised if a modern smartphone can’t take a call or use Wi-Fi in the digital age.

Conclusion

Wrapping things up, the HONOR 200 proves that you don’t need to break the bank to get a good smartphone. Priced at PHP 24,999, it doesn’t have too many downsides.

My gripes with the device were mainly with its counterintuitive software. The phone has a ton of bloatware with MagicOS providing two of each app with one function.

There’s also the matter of its missing IP rating. Personally, I felt like I could’ve looked past this if we weren’t under the rainy season right now.

Aside from these issues, the HONOR 200 excels under design, display, cameras, performance, and battery. These are a ton of strengths for a midrange offering, no?

If readers are looking for an all-around, solid, budget-friendly smartphone in 2024—the HONOR 200 needs to be on your list. Pre-order the device today until July 26, 2024 to get a free pair of JBL Soundgear Frames with PHP 9,499.
